Felix expected that there wouldn't be many customers. He was prepared to stand all day and see only ten clients, but...
"I didn't think it would be so bad," he thought, finishing cleaning up the shop. Glancing around, he saw that it was already night. "Not a single customer for the day..."
Victor's situation was not sweet. Not a single customer for the entire day, which was a very bad situation for a businessman, but the gentleman seemed not to mind.
"Here's your pay for today. Come back tomorrow at eight in the morning," Eirene said, handing him today's payment – 1500.
Fortunately for Felix himself, during the day of interaction, Eirene could express her thoughts much more precisely, without stuttering. She was a bit shy, so Felix mostly accepted consumables himself.
"Thank you. And is Mr. Victor still sleeping?" Felix asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Hehe... yes," Eirene awkwardly smiled. Felix was speechless and shook his head, not understanding how someone could sleep all day. It was terrible.
The next day, Felix came to work right at eight in the morning. Coincidentally, Eirene came out and opened the door.
"Good morning, Felix."
"Morning, Rina. Is Mr. Victor still asleep?" Felix asked, to which he saw Eirene nod. Losing his speech, he asked, "Is it normal for him to sleep so much? I thought it was bad for health."
"Huh? No, no. He only sleeps during the day and works at night. He explained that it's easier to concentrate on work," explained Eirene, although it was clear that she hardly believed it.
"Is he an owl?"
Thus, communicating with each other, they became very close. While there were no customers, Eirene took out a board game.
"Look, it's called 'Game of Life.' Here, you need to roll the dice, and then move as many spaces as the number you get. Like that until the end. If you land on a task cell, you have to complete it," explained Eirene, and then added, "I often play with friends; you need to complete tasks – either those on the fields or those suggested by other players. I find the second option much more interesting."
"Yeah?... Then let's go with the second, I don't care," said Felix and nodded with a strange expression on his face. He thought, "Isn't this something like Monopoly?"
Despite Felix's doubts about such a game, he still agreed to play with Eirene because there was nothing else to do – customers were not a common occurrence here.
***
In the evening, Felix returned home... he smiled, realizing that this place had become almost like a second home to him.
He opened the door and said he was back, but there was no response. This slightly surprised him.
"Usually, Abraham and the others are already home by this time... what happened?" he wondered and entered the living room. There was a note on the table.
Approaching closer, he unfolded the note and read it, then raised an eyebrow. It was from Abraham.
[Felix, my wife, and I need to visit the village chief's house to discuss some matters. Until then, please occupy yourself with something. You can eat some fruit for now.
Abraham.]
"How considerate..." mumbled Felix and smiled, putting the letter aside.
He sat on the couch in the living room, and although he would have liked a TV and a game console in front of him right now, unfortunately, the world was not that developed.
"The Library of Knowledge," he thought, and then a translucent book appeared in his hand.
It was an ability he discovered. He could summon books from the library without entering, but in return, it required more 'mental strength'.
What was 'mental strength'? Felix called it the energy with which he could control his abilities obtained from reincarnation. However, he still didn't know how to develop this type of energy, which somewhat saddened him.
"I have an hour to finish reading this book," Felix thought and shook his head. "Too bad I can't enter the Library of Knowledge directly. At home, I'm alone; what if someone breaks in."
And so, half an hour passed reading the book. The book was a typical cultivation story in which the main character had to seduce his Master to avoid death. Although it sounded funny, the book's element was interesting, and the moment when they drank together and their bodies got closer... ahem, ahem.
In general, this book titled "Mission: Seduce the Master!" was not bad. Felix strongly recommended reading it at least once.
After another half-hour, his mental strength ran out. He sighed and shook his head.
"I hope this author sinks into the ground. Seriously, how can he make me excited and then leave me with blue balls? Damn bastard."
Sighing heavily, he got up from his seat and started walking around the house to stretch. While heading to the temporary room, the door to the house suddenly opened.
"Hm?"
Felix raised an eyebrow and looked at the door. He thought Abraham and Viola had returned, but instead, he saw a beautiful woman.
"Hello?..."
"Oh, hi! You're the boy Abraham picked up, right? Heard about you!"
"Picked up..."
The corner of Felix's mouth distorted at the words of this woman, but he maintained his carefree appearance and nodded.
During this time, he also noticed the appearance of the unknown woman. She had long gray hair neatly tied into a ponytail. Her eyes were an unusual color – pink, while her body deserved special attention – it was slender and "developed" in the right places.
In pure beauty, she surpassed Viola and all the other women he had ever met.
"My name is Aunt Lina, I'm your neighbor to the left. Nice to meet you!" she said with a teasing tone and then pulled out a letter from her cleavage, handing it to Felix. "Here! This is from Abraham..."
"Hm?"
Felix chose not to comment on why she had stuffed the letter into her cleavage in the first place. He simply took it and started reading, and his face became stranger with each paragraph.
Then, finishing reading, he looked at the woman with a peculiar expression on his face.
"I apologize, but... are you offering services of 'that' kind?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Hehe, of course not," Aunt Lina replied, smirking. Suddenly, she leaned her entire body towards Felix, breathing heavily near his ear. She whispered, "I just really like you."
"Hm..."
Despite such an unusual situation, Felix maintained a calm expression.
Abraham's letter read as follows...
[Recently, Lina had a big fight with her husband and is now in a depression. She asked me to 'lend' you for, you know, certain purposes. I think you can use this chance.
Good luck!]
"..."
Felix was speechless. However, before he could immerse himself in his thoughts, a strange touch in the area of his groin forced him to snap out of it.
"Let's get started... rest assured, dear, Auntie will do everything to satisfy you."
***
Abraham and Viola were sitting in the chief's house. It was a regular meeting, and this time, he also brought his daughter, Lily.
"Father... why am I even here?" she asked discontentedly – it was evident she was bored.
"Hm... you need to know what happens at these meetings. In the future, you will participate in them on behalf of our family with your husband" Abraham said with a smile.
"Eh? No thanks, I don't need a husband in the next ten years; I'm still too young," the girl replied, snorting.
"Well, well."
Abraham just shrugged and thought about Felix, whom he left alone with a hungry lioness. He smiled.
"Well, have fun there. After all, you're a man; sometimes you need to satisfy yourself after a working day". Abraham thought, recalling Lina's situation and shaking his head, "Although I don't quite agree with how she's trying to get rid of depression. She's lucky she chose our Felix."
